= LifE Of a GaL =

it's september. next week it would be my 23rd birthday.

i recently watched a great anime which also had a live action drama done up; nodame cantabile.

it's about a guy (shuai guy) who is super musically talented, rich, grew up in a family of musicians, who aspires to be a conductor but stuck in japan because of his fear of aeroplanes. he thought that everyone in his music school plays with a sub standard, and he wants to go to europe but couldn't because of his fear. one day, he met this girl with amazing talent in piano. she can't play very well by reading scores on the first time, but can play the same song if she hears it once... she's messy, poor... and she inspired him through piano that he can achieve his dreams as a conductor still...

all the music in the show is really amazing. made me remember how much i love the symphony, the classical music when i was still in band in primary school. makes me remember how badly i wanted to learn the piano in primary school though my mum refused to let me learn cos' of the high costs.

i wonder really, if i never joined a uniformed group in sec school, and joined the band instead, would i be a different person now? makes me really wanna learn an instrument now...

i rem how i love to play the only instrument i can play - the recorder. it's my relaxation tool when i was down, my favourite thing to play when i was free. been years since i last touched it. would be very weird if i blew it now, my mum would think i am nuts i guess.

music... it would really be a different me if i continued with music in sec school isn't it? haha, i always thot that i wasn't suited to be in a uniformed group, although i have to say i really learnt a lot from there.
